This month we have 43 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

I arranged all 8 stamps from the set on the 4.5 X 6.5 block to make one image. The full image was stamped 6 times (in the Summer Carnival colors) on 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 pieces of White Daisy cardstock. I trimed the cardstock and layered. The idea came from Technique Junkies, the Pyramid technique June/July 09 issue, please visit their website to learn how to get the full instructions: http://www.techniquejunkies.com/

Here's another project inspired by the Pierced Spotlight technique from the February/March 09 newsletter. I had a lot of fun creating both these cards.

While I still had the stamps arranged on the block I stamped one more time in Black ink on

White Daisy cardstock. I colored the image with Cranberry, Star Spangled Blue, Sunflower, New England Ivy, and Grey Wool markers. I would recomend a lighter shade of grey, but my Grey Flannel marker was dried out, so I had to go with the darker.

Here's a list of all the participants in case a link is broken. Enjoy. . .

Wow - the Pyramid Technique is way cool! At first I thought you had made a felt ink pad of your own to get the colors. I had to enlarge to photo to see that it was layered. I've been inspired to play with this!
